Toughen Up

You shout it loud,
but I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud,
not saying much.
I'm criticized,
but all your bullets ricochet
you shoot me down,
but I get up.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down,
but it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and
haunted love
Raise your voice,
sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud,
not saying much.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Stone hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone hard, as bulletproof glass
 
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Law studies, jealous girls and opportunistic boys. I've faced them all. In my last prom a few weeks ago, I saw the harsh truth - I'm not taking many friends from my Law studies, and neither from International Reltions. I've met really good people, don't get me wrong, and studied with the best teachers. But it's a competitive profession, maybe even more than acting or music. And I've gotta toughen up. Luckily I have my friends and family, like my lovely sister, who accompanied me to the ball, to lean on.



 

Last Day of School

I have many reasons to be happy, I have many things to be excited about right now. One of them was finishing my degree and my last class as a student. I'll soon review the last 4 years with my most personal post yet. But first, let me brag some about my last outfit as a student.
I'll be the first to admit that while studying, I could have dressed better. But I've found my love for fashion during my studies, and found my personal style as well. But above all - I've learnt how to feel comfortable in my own skin. And that's the most important thing to feel good about yourself. That and some grooming of course :). Oh - and being careful in the sun (which I wasn't lately, but that didn't stop me from dressing up for my last day as a 1st degree student, nothing would have).
BTW - since it's always better to spend good times with people you care about, and since my classmates have already finished their studies - who's better to spend the last coffee break with than my sister. Thank's for that sis. It was just what I needed.
Till the next degree!!!

 

 

 

Looking for A home

How to dress for the (sometimes) excruciating process of searching for a new place? And in a different city?
First of all - layer up. The temperature difference between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in the spring can be major, not to talk about the humidity of Tel Aviv, so I had to come very prepared. But don't forget - you have to look presentable and serious if you want to even be considered as a renter.
Second, since I don't have a car, and even if I did, I wouldn't have brought it to Tel Aviv due to the fact that it's either impossible or expensive to find a parking spot (hence - public transportation), wear comfortable shoes. I planned my route very carefully, and scheduled the appointments in a 1 hour difference - a must if the apartments are in different areas of the city, and you consider the conversation with the apartment's owner. Oh, and that leaves you some room even to buy icecream sometimes.
Carry a list of questions, and if you have it - some information about the property. Coming prepared does not indicate only that you're serious, but it also helps you focus, and not get distracted by all the information that the owner's throwing at you. Only you know what you're looking for, so don't forget to come with good mood.
And - last but not least - charge your cell in advance. No need to state why.

 

 

Beer City

So. This is another overdue post. Not that I don't have any new fashion pics to share, but this one felt more appropriate.
This time, a year ago I went to the beer city for the first time. I was with a friend, whom I also lived with at a time, ate a hotdog, and had a boyfriend. Ever since - I'm moving to live alone in a different city, I've become a vegetarian and I'm single. So much has changed. But to say the truth - I'm happier now. Not that everything's perfect - I've just had a huge fight with this stupid 36 year old guy who lives at the dorms - but I've learnt to be more relaxed. Finally.
The girl who left her friend at the beer city in the pretext she wasn't feeling well, but actually was too afraid to have fun and really relax - has changed. And it's bitter-sweet to look at those pics, because I can't help but think of what I miss. But It's also satisfying to see how much I've grown. Long live Beer.

"The First Station" area in Jerusalem is a must see. It's so peaceful that you'll never wanna leave, and it's right next to Emek Refa'im, where you can find coffee-houses, restaurants, pubs and even a movie theater. Highly recommended.

Spider Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 At the beer city, with my german booze and the now missed chorizo. Well, not so missed - that one was cold. Till the next time!
